I'm not sure the existence of the sign on one other coin should be a determining factor if we're having a moose on the other side which has been used on several coins.

However, we could replace the sign with a tree and have the moose hiding behind that. But I'm not sure how we'd place the GC codes on the other side - having them carved into the tree does not depict geocaching well in my opinion.

I have nothing against moose tattoos, as long as you can prove the moose consented.

However, this thread is about a coin! :p

also There is Mapachis Pinecone Idea.

OK.....my last input then I'll shut up and wait until whatever you all decide on comes out and then probably buy one just because.

- I threw the moose into the fray because it does, indeed, represent Maine. So does a
lobster, a light house, fishing, the shape of Maine, etc.
- I intentionally chose the moose cut out (see my pic) because THAT is what would
make it unique. Put a moose as part of a square or rectangular coin = Boring to me.
- Sure there are several "moose" themed coins, mostly head shots. Show me one that
is actually shaped like a moose (full body).
- Too fragile? Moose crap. Four legs would be very durable. Numereous coins out
there with cut outs.
- More expensive than a round or square coin? How much more expensive per coin
do you think it would be?
- A pine tree behind it is possible, but, it would have to be small one. Otherwise the
moose would end up being small.

Last time, then I'll quiet: Moose, sign that says Maine 10 Years, some warm and fuzzy comment on the back, and the tracking number (on the back this time, not the front!)

Sounds good. I like the cutout moose. I think a pine tree behind the moose would add stability if that is a concern. Also the wording on the back sounds like a great idea.

If a pine tree was just slightly larger than the moose the dangling pine cones would fit right in. I like the plain moose cutout idea the best with wording on the back.

How much would these tiny pine cones cost? And how long would they be available?
